AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

ACTION: Notice of extension of time limit for preliminary results of 
antidumping duty administrative review.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) is extending the 
time limit for the preliminary results of the 1998-1999 administrative 
review of the antidumping duty order on cut-to-length carbon steel 
plate from Romania. This review covers two exporters of the subject 
merchandise to the United States, Metalexportimport, S.A. and Windmill 
International Romania Branch (Windmill), and one manufacturer of the 
subject merchandise, C. S. Sidex, S.A. The period of review is August 
1, 1998 through July 31, 1999.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 13, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Fred Baker at (202) 482-2924 or Robert 
James at (202) 482-0649, Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Enforcement Group III, Import Administration, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 14th Street and 
Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department initiated this administrative 
review on October 1, 1999 (64 FR 53318) and November 4, 1999 (64 FR 
60161). Under section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Tariff Act), the Department may extend the deadline for 
completion of an administrative review if it determines that it is not 
practicable to complete the review within the statutory time limit of 
365 days. Because of the complexity and difficulty presented with 
surrogate country selection and factor valuation in this case, the 
Department is extending the time limit for completion of the 
preliminary results until August 30, 2000. See Memorandum from Richard 
Weible to Joseph Spetrini, on file in room B-099 of the main Commerce 
building. The deadline for the final results of this review will 
continue to be 120 days after the publication of the preliminary 
results.
    This extension is in accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Tariff Act and section 351.213(h)(2) of the Department's regulations.

    Dated: April 27, 2000.
Joseph A. Spetrini,
Deputy Assistant Secretary Enforcement Group III.
